What is the rudest question...

[Catlady711]

The ruddest question I was asked was when I worked as a grocery store cashier.

One of the customers I was checking out asked me 'how long till the bread was out of the oven' (bad way of asking when the baby is due).......

I was not pregnant!


Just because someone has on a loose flowing top and happens to have a pudgy looking belly, does not make one pregnant!

Hmm, rudest question I've been asked? Probably when it comes to my hearing disability. "Can you hear?" in the wrong situation.

Countrywolf, is there a courteous way to ask? I am going to be volunteering at the information desk at church again this fall. We have hearing assist devices that worshipers can check out if they want one for the service. But, sometimes they just have a question or need certain information. The info desk is in the vestibule and it is noisy and busy with people coming and going; it's also a meeting place for kids and parents after Sunday school. I don't want to offend someone, but if they have a hearing impairment and a question, the info desk is not a good place to get an answer. The best I can do is to ask the person to move to the side of the desk, against the wall, which is a little calmer, so I can answer their question without 50 zillion kids running and hollering, people talking and laughing and hurrying in and out.

"Are you pregnant?" Uhmmm... NO! This is just how I'm built. And yes, I'm dieting and exercising.

I'm not shy about telling people that I live at a nudist resort in summer, we have people from all walks of life there and people of every shape and size.

What I hate is when someone says, behind my back, "Can you believe SHE goes nude?!" I know I'm not small, but geez, how rude can you be?? One of the reasons I love Sunny Rest is because it's so free from those kinds of comments.

I work in the Entertainment Department at a theme park with characters.

Today, I was escorting a character who is much more feminine then the others)and some guy asked me if he could "squeeze her a$$". I said "that'd be a good way to get yourself kicked out of the park and sued for sexual harassment". People seem to think they can treat you differently when you're dressed in a costume.

These weren't really rude, so much as just dumb. Clara is one, now, and a hairstylist at the salon asked why I didn't give Clara any of the candy that was at the front desk. I had taken a piece of Laffy Taffy for myself. I told her "Because she's one." Duh. And, then she proceeded to ask, "What? Did you at least give her a chocolate bunny at Easter? What are you going to do for Halloween?" First of all, she's ONE. It's August. Which means she was about 7 months old at Easter.

I'm sure there are people out there who give young infants chocolate bunnies for Easter and let their 14-month-olds pig out on Halloween candy, but I choose to believe that it's not the norm. Call it putting my head in the sand, but lalalalalalalalala I'm not listening!

Well, I definitely agree with you! I know when I have children, they are certainly not going to get candy until they're older... and no soda except on special occasions. America is just raising another generation of unhealthy people!!

I can't even really think of a rude question I've been asked. I'm sure I have been plenty of times...

I was asked that once too. I was standing in a checkout line and the lady in line in front of me was very obviously pregnant. The cashier asked her when her baby was due and the lady told her. Then the cashier turned to me and asked when my baby was due. I turned bright red as I told her I wasn't pregnant.

Like you I was wearing a shirt that was loose and I hold my extra weight in my belly.

The rudest question is one I've been asked alot lately.

Why didn't you leave sooner?

Unless you've been emotionally abused you will never understand, I couldn't.

[Laura's Babies]

Oooooo! It would take a book to write up what lead up to a Captain asking me this..

"What KIND of relationship do you and "Captain X" have anyway, that he allows that?".. I told him REAL quick that I didn't like how that sounded at ALL! I was highly insulted that someone that had only known me for several days would judge me in any way...

"So when are you and hubby going have have kids of your own?"
I ALWAYS replied: "They're teenagers... the best birth control imaginable."

And when I was single:
"So why are you still single?" If I knew why, I wouldn't have been single, now would I have been?

[Twisterdog]

I was asked the old "When is your baby due?" question. I replied, "Two months ago." Bummed me out on two levels: one, that I was obviously still fat two months after giving birth and two, that I was too poor to buy new clothes.

I also get various versions of "OMG, how can you STAND to have that many dogs in your house?"

[K9karen]

When I was in my teens, I was climbing steps from the train to the street, and two handsome, white collar guys (you never know) asked me how long it took me to learn how to get my big fat ass moving up the steps.

Wha? 30+ years later, 30 pounds lighter, I'm still haunted. I can see it as if it was yesterday.

[luvofallhorses]

Um the rudest was when I was skinny in highschool don't you ever eat? I'd like to be asked that now that I am not skinny anymore.

" "So why are you still single?" If I knew why, I wouldn't have been single, now would I have been? "

I don't even know where to go with that one. I've been asked that many times and I find it rude. I CHOOSE to be single. I don't have to figure out what's wrong with me! I know why. It's a choice for me. I could be married if I wanted to be. It's none of their business. I wouldn't ask a married person when they expected to be divorced!
